Atlanta hospital is accused of losing part of patient's skull following brain surgery
Briefly

The lawsuit claims that Emory Healthcare staff misplaced a portion of Fernando Cluster's skull, causing them ongoing physical and emotional pain and substantial medical expenses.
In a statement regarding the lawsuit, Emory Healthcare emphasized its commitment to providing high-quality, compassionate care, but declined to comment specifically on the case itself.
At the time of the incident, two months post-surgery, Emory's personnel reportedly couldn't locate the bone flap, complicating Cluster's follow-up procedure and extending his hospital stay.
The Clusters allege that the lack of proper identification for the bone flaps led to confusion, making it impossible for hospital staff to confirm which flap was Mr. Cluster's.
